In an interview with DailySun, Thabiso shared, “I’ve always been complimented on my skin because I took really great care of it. And as the saying goes, if you’re buying too much of something, rather own it. A young black boy with a skincare brand.” He believes that men who invest in skincare are investing in their long-term appearance.

“I’m not here to judge people and their thinking, so I know there still needs to be a lot of education about skincare and self-care, especially for men. We’re hoping that our company can collaborate with many others to de-stigmatise the idea that taking care of your skin or practising self-love means you are gay,” said Thabiso.
